San Diego Stair Lifts

A stair lift is a motorized chair that helps individuals with mobility challenges navigate staircases in their homes. In San Diego, where many homes have multiple levels, stair lifts allow users to travel up and down stairs with ease. The chair moves along a secure track, ensuring safe and smooth transportation from one floor to another, with various safety features like seat belts and obstacle detection systems included. Whether your staircase is straight, curved, or spiral, we can customize a solution to fit your home.

A shaftless stair lift is a space-efficient option, ideal for homes in San Diego where conserving space is essential. This type of lift doesn’t require a shaft, making it easy to install without major renovations. The lift mounts directly onto the stairs and moves along the rail. Its minimalist design ensures it blends seamlessly with your home’s interior while providing easy movement between floors.

Stair lifts provided by California Mobility function via a motorized chair or platform that travels along a rail fixed to your stairs. The controls are user-friendly, and the chair operates on electric power, with a battery backup in case of power outages, ensuring you always have access to different levels of your home.

Measuring involves taking precise dimensions of the staircase, including its length, width, and any landings or curves. For those seeking expert guidance, California Mobility provides professional services to ensure everything is measured accurately for a custom fit.

Generally, a stair lift requires a minimum width of around 29 inches to operate safely. However, if the staircase is narrower, customized solutions can be explored to accommodate the space while maintaining safety.

The cost of a stair lift varies depending on factors like the type of lift (straight or curved), whether it’s installed indoors or outdoors, and the installation complexity. Prices typically range between $3,000 and $17,000, depending on your specific needs.

California Mobility provides a variety of stair lifts, including affordable options. Straight, no-frills models tend to be the most cost-effective, and financing or discounts may be available to make them more accessible.

Stair lift prices for seniors can differ based on factors such as the type of staircase, model, and any extra features. California Mobility offers options that range from budget-friendly models to more advanced designs.

Installation costs are generally competitive and can be included in the overall purchase price. The total cost depends on the complexity of the staircase and the lift model selected.

Unfortunately, Medicare and most traditional insurance plans don’t cover stair lifts. However, we’ll work with you to find a lift that suits your budget.

Installing a stair lift involves attaching a rail to the stairs, placing the chair or platform, and connecting it to a power source. We provide expert installation services to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely.

The installation typically takes just a few hours, depending on the staircase. Our team aims to complete the process quickly and with minimal disruption to your day.

Absolutely. Many homeowners choose an in-home elevator as an option. It eliminates the need to deal with stairs while providing a smooth transition between levels, adding comfort and potentially increasing property value.

For wheelchair users, a vertical platform lift installed outside the home is another excellent solution. These lifts are specifically designed for easy and secure movement between floors, ensuring mobility and freedom.

Our straight stair lifts are backed by a limited lifetime warranty on the motor and gearbox, alongside a 2-year warranty for parts and a 1-year labor warranty.

For curved stair lifts, the motor and gearbox are covered by a 5-year warranty, with the same 2-year parts and 1-year labor coverage.

We offer straight, curved, indoor, and outdoor stair lifts.

We do not offer stair lift rentals. Our focus is on the sale and installation of brand-new stair lifts to ensure long-term safety and reliability.

We do not buy stair lifts. We only sell and install new stair lifts.

We provide repair and service only for stair lifts that we have installed. If your stair lift was installed by another company, we are unable to service it.

Most stairlifts come with a manual override, typically a lever or wheel located beneath the seat or at the base. This feature lets you move the lift manually in case of a power outage or emergency.

Common reasons for a stair lift to stop working include power issues, a tripped circuit, or drained batteries. Check the power source, reset any breakers, and make sure the batteries are functioning properly. Our team is ready to help diagnose and fix the problem if needed.

All stair lifts provided by California Mobility are equipped with batteries, so they continue to operate even if the power goes out. You can still use the lift for up to 10 cycles (up and down the stairs) before it needs to be recharged. While parked, the battery charges continuously to stay ready for use.

The lifespan of a stair lift battery is typically 1 to 2 years, depending on how often it’s used. To extend its life, regular maintenance is recommended, and California Mobility provides replacement services to keep it running smoothly.

To charge the battery, ensure the lift is parked properly at the charging station located either at the top or bottom of the stairs. It will automatically charge once it’s in the right spot.

Most standard models can handle between 250 and 400 pounds. California Mobility also offers options for those who need a lift with a higher weight capacity.
